No third option.

Which one best describes you?

Ignorant about Islam? Maybe. I didn't do so just prior to posting but I'm pretty sure I can document everything I've said. Please correct any error I've made and I'll go ahead and apologize in advance as I await.

Apologist for Islam? I don't think so either. I understand ignorance is bliss and its comfortable to think we did nothing to get us to where we are today. However, as comfortable as it is to some, having our heads stuck in the sand doesn't give us the clarity needed. I was simply pointing of the cause and effect history that has led us to where we are today. This while advocating measures that can bankrupt terrorism instead of permanantly and continualyl enriching terrorists and their media support system as the position so many Americans passionately advocate inadvertantly brings about.

Having opinions all over the map is a good sign of a person capable of autonomous thinking. Felix -2011

If you go there and still have questions of me, I will consider your request at that point.

Otherwise I accuse you of merely fishing (trolling?) for 'ammo' to use against me. To further your agenda and not to advance your understanding of Islam nor to find a way to prevent non Muslims from being victimized by it.
